Food

How food is grown and raised, processed, transported, prepared, and disposed of has environmental, social, and financial implications. Yale Dining is committed to offering delicious, healthy food that is carefully sourced and prepared. To be qualified as “sustainable,” food served in the Yale Dining Halls must meet at least one of four criteria: local, eco-sensitive, humane, fair. Learn more at the Yale Dining website.

Food is a sustainability issue that everyone can relate to. Whether your interests are in health, cultural traditions, and environmental impacts, the food system provides many opportunities to explore sustainability challenges.

Yale Dining offers food that is locally sourced, humanely and fairly raised, and processed right in the Dining Halls.

Internships in sustainable agriculture and local food systems are available at the Yale Farm. The Yale Sustainable Food Project offers many opportunities to combine learning with hands-on experience.

The Yale Sustainable Food Project manages an organic farm on campus and runs diverse programs that support exploration and academic inquiry related to food and agriculture. For more information, please visit the Yale Sustainable Food Project website.
